Nasri back in City contention


Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has recovered from a hamstring injury and is available to play at Fulham tomorrow.

The Frenchman was substituted in the first half at Real Madrid on September 18 and missed last weekend’s draw with Arsenal and the midweek League Cup defeat to Aston Villa.

Jack Rodwell is missing however after injuring his groin in the warm-up before the Villa match.

Right-back Micah Richards (ankle) is back in training but is short of fitness.

Provisional squad: Hart, Pantilimon, Wright, Maicon, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, K Toure, Nastasic, Kolarov, Clichy, Milner, Sinclair, Y Toure, Barry, Garcia, Nasri, Silva, Aguero, Dzeko, Balotelli, Tevez, Razak.
